    This show would make a great Dave’s installment.

    Probably someone from the ABB camp that didn’t want GD to have the spotlight.

    I was thinking about this show the other day myself.. wouldn't it be a nice box if the whole thing got released.. the Band, The Allman Brothers and the GD. I bet this wouldn't get that much resistance from the other bands today..

    As for the rumor, that's a new one for me.

    Edit: I found this on Miller transfer from the archive regarding sound:
    -All of the 1st set and most of the 2nd set has been pitch corrected. The 1st set was a mess. As I understand it, the deck was inadvertantly on battery power and it wasn't until after "Here Comes Sunshine" that someone realized that the deck was not plugged in. Consequently, there were serious speed issues, culminating in the "chipmunks on speed" version of "Here Comes Sunshine". What made things even more difficult was the fact that the speed issues were non-linear, requiring the pitch to be adjusted in as little as 0:10 increments, with the speed being both slow, then fast, in a matter of seconds. Just to give an idea of the severity, the raw transfer of "Here Comes Sunshine" (HCS Raw) has been included in this torrent for your listening pleasure.
    - Sadly, this copy also exhibits a "static" like scratching noise in parts of "He's Gone" and "Truckin'", which has been minimized as best as possible

    Is this the part where I am supposed to say Morning Rockers?

    Watkins Glen 7/28/73 question or rumor

    So the souncheck was on Sirius today when i was driving to a meeting. Back in late 80's a well connected tape trader that let me tape a ton of shows from, told me the whole reason the boards suck from the Dead's 7/28/73 show is Jerry was pissed that it was going to be broadcast and went and pulled out all the plugs (think Forrest Gump speaking at DC rally in the movie)... Has anyone heard this before. Doesn't sound like something he would do but, just curious if anyone else every heard this... Thanks.. bob t

    Good Vibes/76 Box

    Good vibes to you Mr Ones. Have you heard the 12.1.79 version? That has been my favorite for like 20 years, hope you have a chance to give it a spin.

    I vividly remember hearing these June '76 shows for the first time. There used to be this bar in DC named The Grog and Tankard, and every Monday a Dead cover band named The Next Step would play. That was some rowdy shit, you could sneak in beers, light up in the parking lot, totally out of control in the best way possible. Anyway, I met this guy who had a WALL full of tapes, he had EVERYTHING in 1992, and every Monday after the show we'd hit his place and he's slide me like 10 tapes to record and give back the next Monday. I've been in love with these shows and hoping for their release ever since, simply can't wait! Been doing some homework in preparation, RT's 4.5 (6.9.76), D/L Series 4 (6.18.76), DaP 28 (6.18.76), DiP 33 (10.9-10.76) - my favorite, and of course Cow Palace 12.31.76. We're the luckiest fans in all of music!

    He's Gone @ Dick's 13/Nassau and Mr. One

    Big Yup! The He's Gone on Dick's 13 at Nassau is passionately heartfelt and dedicated to Bobby Sands after dying while on hunger strike in The H-Blocks and nine more hunger strikers would also die one by one.

    Dick Latvala himself described this show as 'The Big One" from the eighties with playing and jamming quite unlike anything they played previously or afterward. That says it all.

    Mr. One: my condolences. Be well.

    ah yes.. Dicks Picks 13. What a unique release and quite good. I was thinking of that He's Gone myself and went so far as to figure out what show (5/6/81) and listen to it once, "This one's for Bobby Sands." That could have been the last of the great 81's... (hopefully I'm wrong about that).

    Again, like all have mentioned.. sorry to hear of this and music is paramount to healing for most of us here.

    Oroborous, I did notice your absence, but assumed you were just busy. Very sorry to hear of your journey, but it sounds like you have the right attitude.

    Events both good and bad seem to come in waves, the pendulum is always swinging about seemingly randomly.. Looks many changes are upon us and the pendulum is tacking in another direction. I think I am going to hit some of that late 72 stuff that was mentioned a few posts ago. Seems appropriate for the day.

    Be safe all.. and to the kind soul out there that send me a little (almost) surprise package. Many thanks.. like Christmas in February.

    Been playing that a lot lately, especially the 10/9/89 version...

    Sorry for your loss Mr Ones...May the four winds blow him safely home!
    Sad, but like KF said, at least their not in that realm and suffering anymore....I say they, because my pops passed on 2/20/20 after having a good run with the Big C. Diagnosed and first treated in late 2015, we almost lost him in 2017, but the old bastard bounced back and was able to have almost 3 really good years before things started to deteriorate. Fortunately, he had a good passing. Not too much suffering, and died less than a week after going on hospice and getting pumped up on 5 of methedone. Knew the end was near, but wasn’t ready for a 2AM call. Didn’t think he was going to get out that quick....Found him in the wee hours when they were doing rounds, he had been asleep. We should all be that lucky!

    Sorry, I wasn’t going to post about it, and that’s why I’ve been gone, but just typing this is helping, knowing there’s so many kind folks out there listening...
    Have been checking in and you’ve all been so busy lately, so many great topics etc. it’s been nice to come here and take a time out and hang, but I’ve missed contributing....so hopefully things will start to get back to normal. Like more time for Dead...been mostly listening to June/July 76 with what little listening time I’ve had. Really stoked for the new box.
    It’s true: MUSIC HEALS!

During the mid-1970s, the Grateful Dead saga was unfolding like a Greek classic. The Sisyphean Wall Of Sound had nearly broken the band. From it spawned a Medusa head of countless side projects, all deliciously fruitful but woefully not the same as the whole. The chorus lay in wait, pondering the reemergence of their heroes, and wondering if "THE LAST ONE" had really been it...

But in early 1976, Apollonian light and healing would shine upon our intrepid wanderers once again.

No more ticket scams and greedy promoters, they'd give back with first ever mail-order ticket program, one that had a few kinks to work out but eventually served the fans well.

Musically, June 1976 signaled a Golden Age of harmony and prosperity for the Dead. It marked an Odysseusian-like return for Mickey Hart. Donna Jean was in lock-step with the sirens' call. Jerry and Bob delivered orphic delight with solo musings like "Mission In The Rain" (the only tour they ever played it on), "The Wheel," and "Cassidy," emboldened by group effort. There was fresh repertoire from Blues For Allah, breathing new life to the Dead's continually morphing sound - as Weir once said of the '76 tour, they wanted to play "a little bit of all of it."

Also DSO’s Rob Eaton, so neat:

Eaton assented and on a day off during a Dark Star Orchestra tour, “I went to meet him at a parking lot of a Denny’s. He had a pickup truck and a trailer full of excrement and hay and the boxes I’d originally sent him back plus a wooden crate with 50 seven-inch reels thrown in it—no boxes, all tangled up. It was a complete mess. But most of those tapes turned out to be amazing. I would say 22 of those were from the June ‘76 tour—stuff that I had not seen before.

“If you had looked in the box, you would say there was no way they can be recovered but they could, if you took the time to do it. The challenge is that you can’t play them until you bake them at a low temperature for an extended period of time. That reformulates the back coding, which is what the oxide is on, and the oxide is what the music is recorded on magnetically. The seven-inch reels were on plastic hubs but I couldn’t transfer those to metal reels because it would ruin the tapes. So I modified a food dehydrator that I use to dehydrate mushrooms I collect here in the mountains of Colorado in the summer time.”

Great read, McGrupp216....thanks!

"Betty should get her production royalty on anything that gets released, which is completely reasonable. Those were her tapes; those weren’t the Dead’s tapes. I’d love to see Betty get her due.”

Does anybody know if Betty is/or did get any production royalties from these recent releases? God knows she deserves it......

I'll probably pass on this one. Nothing wrong with it and the presentation looks classy. I just know it's not gonna get played at all. When I go to pick a Grateful Dead concert off my shelf to play the competition is fierce and this one would not be competitive. I'm finally being realistic with myself. I am sure for those who want it it will be great. Enjoy!

Love the Road Trips show from this run, probably my favorite Road Trips. Nice associated swag with it. Hoping there's a Warfield/RCMH 1980 box in the fall to complement this one.

Wish they had a "Box & a Byte" version that had a download coupon in box for the FLAC which was a little more than just the box but not as expensive as doing both a la carte. Would love to hear the FLAC shows on my listening headphones, but cannot do both so the box it is.

Thanks Dave!

The list of Betty Boards in the Relix article keeps me wondering. I would choose the word incomplete to describe it, but that feels too much of an understatement. A quick glance at the July ‘78 box set gives an idea the Relix list is just a small sample of shows that Betty fortunately recorded. There are many already released shows we know Betty recorded that aren’t on that list. So were Dick’s Picks 3- or 29- or 33- and on just ignored? It baffles me how the author states this is a list of known Betty Boards, when we know about so much more.

Just watched it. Sounds like it’s going to be a good year for releases.

Excellent........
(Mr. Burns tapping fingers)

Edit:
Dave said that 6-19 is FM. The FM was with the returned reels, or was it already in the Vault?
The FM cassette sounded pretty good, this should sound grate.

Wonder if they edited out the guy who says “wah, wah, wah,” between the songs.

Thank you so much for posting that list of returned tapes. It doesn't look like 6/17/75 from Winterland
is in there ,shucks that's to bad, I was hoping it would be. But those Capitol Theatre tapes from 2/71, will make a killer box set.

So yeah I am all about this box set. I love the 6/19 show - the whole shows is on YouTube. It looks like the house cameras caught everything in glorious black and white. The opening Help > Slip > Framklin's > Music is great. I wonder what source they used for the box set? The other 4 shows are returned Betty's so maybe 6/19 was an already contained in the vault Betty Board. Doesn't matter to me, I bought this box set immediately. I saw this while at work and I bought it as soon as I got done with the job. I was so happy I almost exploded.

It's funny too, I was asking for an 85 box on the DaP 33 comments section just a few days ago. Many , myself included, have asked for a 76 box on years past, but I haven't seen a recent request for it. Maybe that is the trick...ask for boxes we dont want so we get surprised by DL and the crew with ones we do.

The Relix article and old circulating list is woefully incomplete. Mainly on the tapes made by Betty's ex Rex Jackson, she ended up with a ton of his tapes, and at least one of the ABCD releases (DaP 24 8/25/72) was taped by Owsley. So, in addition to 3 Bettys not known to exist just from the July '78 box to two gems from PacNW '73 6/22/73, 6/24/73, 4/2/73 (DaP 21), 12/6-7/71 (DaP 22), 11/17/71 & 12/14/71 (DaP 26) were part of the returned tapes, plus the known tapes which includes this box set. It's an even bet as to whether DaP 34 will be a Rex tape part of the returns or whether it's a Kidd Candelario tape that was in the Vault all along. I predict the former, given the awesomeness of the show.

This is not my favorite era, but Betty made killer tapes in '76, Phil and Jerry usually sound fantastic, vocals are good, and the smaller theaters helps. And I like some of the rarer tunes we get. Wish they included every other Mission in the Rain as filler, help balance out the 5 Might As Wells. But I'm gonna be a getting this one, no doubt.

Interesting to see the range of opinions on the choice of shows for this box, indifference, disdain and unbridled enthusiasm. Personally, I had planned to get the next box whatever it was, but I have to say when I got the email this morning I was totally psyched. I expect the sound quality is likely to be excellent, the set lists look super cool, and a five show box is just the right size, and as noted the artwork looks cool, although I would dispute the assertion that it is the best thing about the box. I suspect the best thing about the box may be some of those versions of High Time, but that may just be because I dig that song.

As far as redundancy, I just don't see it - there are no other '76 boxes and '76 is not '77 or '78 so the existence of numerous '77 releases and the '77 and '78 box sets just don't make the '76 box redundant to me. The only thing that would strike me as redundant would be if they were choosing shows already released in their entirety.

Arrowhead is definitely one hot show, dig the added twist of that being a show at one of Willie Nelson's Picnics. Does that mean your long awaited July '78 box set has arrived Carlo13? I've been curious what you would think once you gave it a listen. The artwork on that box was some of my favorite box set art to date.

Deadvikes, sent you a pm, thanks for the heads up or it would have been months before I thought of checking my messages.

The july 78 being listened to now is superb. I'm so glad to have this in my collection. The box itself is very convenient to have on my desk. Thanks everyone for the great reviews and now I'm glad I purchased it.

.....if that's what you want CaseyJanes, I'll get them for you. Not my style, but style is individual.
Arrowhead is an enigma. When the ambient temps get hot, the Grateful Dead say "we can be hotter!" Look at Veneta. Or the 91-93 Vegas shows.
Edit. Speaking of Sha Na Na, my wife walked down the hall to bed tonight singing the "Goodnight, it's time to go" outro they did at the end of their shows with no clue that they were in this threads conversation. I don't believe in coincidences. 🤔

Funny, I just listened to DaP24 8/25/72 today - a summer show and it was hot. That Veneta 8/27/72 show is some other level stuff though, the proverbial cream of the crop, probably due for another spin soon. That's one of the few releases that I actually watched the video.

Did you notice that they did not have a single show release like they usually do? I guess they’re saving that for Record Store Day.

This set from the Auditorium in Chicago, which is indeed great, albeit a 2cd set, has been released as an FM release (MOJO Filter 2016).

Another Mission in the Rain, a great PitB and, according to the cover, a Sipplication rather than the usual Supplication :)

That's what I would go for-hopefully a show with Help-Slipknot-Franklins.

I recently listened to three 1976 shows-9/24/76 (Daves Picks), followed by the Dicks 20-9/25/9/76 and 9/28/76, which, while missing the show from 9/27/76, has the feel of a box set about it from a listening point of view. I did enjoy them, too...but they felt a bit light compared to preceding years. There is some gentle experimentation at play, though.

...the returning artist Incase no figured out is
Justin Helton., he did the amazing artwork for the Daves Picks Series in 2016.
He all did art work for the ‘Fare Thee Well’ Tour.
He’s a primo artist, I love his artwork very much. Very classic approach but with his signature style, I noticed, he doing the 1976 Boxset for 2020 as soon as I saw the artwork. He brilliant artist I love him. Rock on my brothers and sisters. If you can spring for the poster Artwork being made available, I highly recomand it grabbing one. Beautiful art just amazing I see & feel a lot of Love in his work!!! Primo, oh I already said that, sorry folks, I haven’t slept in over a day.

I'm so happy with this release, that I went and bought a brand new sealed copy of 6/9/76 on eBay to go along with it. Again, thanks Dave and Dead Net for this and all the great music you release. I look forward to the cool releases that are coming out real soon.

Please don't mind me - I appreciate that a lot of people are quite chipper about this release, and that's good enough for me. They aren't compulsory..so at least I save some dosh! And with 3/1/69 due out on vinyl soon (hopefully), that's not a bad thing.

No more time to tell how, this is the season of what,
Now is the time of returning with our thought
Jewels polished and gleaming.

About a half-dozen of you responded to my plea for a copy of Boston June 9, that's so sweet and helpful.

Thanks to all.

Was at Dead Hippie Brewing's open mic last night in Denver and we rocked out, with many GD covers. Here and there, Deadheads keep coming through for me.

It would be ridiculous for me to buy this, says practical brain. you have plenty to listen to, and you'd save $165.

Life is for living, says happy fun brain. this insane existence is made tolerable by the GD.

Hmm...

payday is 2/28. I will have to decide then, I suppose.

this box is worth getting, regardless. why kvetch about repeats? the good Lord did provide us with skip buttons for things like Samson and Delilah (ironically, a biblical reference).

The sound quality of the mid 76 shows always seemed muddy to me. Questioned whether I really needed better versions as I tend to be a sucker for this stuff. I listened to the samples and then did a little A/B comparison with my existing copies from various sources over the years. Whoa. Couldn't get to my wallet fast enough. Looking forward to 'em. Anything going on for the 50th anniversary of Workingman's or Beauty?

Thanks Dave and the PTB for another stellar release from the Betty stash. Typical to this day and age most do not realize how lucky we are as fans. Look at the mess the Doors have with their archival strategies. Can't wait for both Beacon shows in all of their Jeffery Norman'd glory. Gonna be a great year. #out
